Halloween Honey Buns & Pepperoni Recipes!

I don't think I've ever actually eaten a proper "honey bun," nor have I ever had any huge desire to start. But it's tough to resist when they start dressing foxy.


From Cloverhill, it's the official "Halloween Honey Bun." Sold at the pretty incredible price of 2.99 for a big box of six huge buns, I couldn't believe my good fortune. Honey buns, in orange bags, with pictures of spiders and bats on said bags. I was really hoping that the buns themselves would be shaped like something spooky, but dog shit ain't spooky. I'm still in love, though. They're so genericky and wholesomeish. The kind of thing you'd find for sale on an elementary school hot lunch line in October. If I thought kids would find it more "cool" than "insane," I'd totally give these out to trick-or-treaters and make sure their scarves were nearly tucked before sending them off.

I found these last night, along with a recipe booklet detailing how to turn Hormel pepperoni slices into Halloween heaven. That was a bigger issue, and I've written about it in the latest Countdown entry.

I used to know this kid who had a framed picture of Curry as Frank N. Furter on his living room wall. He was not wrong.

I agree with others, the pizza was the best one. Someone mentioned that it’s not yet October, boy it feels like it’s about the middle.

BoBOOli? I’m glad I stuck around until the end.

I don’t know if I’ve ever commented before but words cannot describe how much I love this site.

I’m with Ryane. I need to find a vegetarian/vegan substitute for pepperoni, and fast!

In unrelated news, I’ve started my five-day Friday the 13th Marathon. Yesterday was #1 and #2. Today will be 3 and 4. And so on until Jason X. I’ve never seen past 3, so I’m really excited.

And then Nightmare on Elm St. And then Freddy vs. Jason. And then I’ll cry because I don’t have the Halloween or Child’s Play movies, which are most deserving franchises in their own right.

I was at the grocery store last night getting stuff to make lasagna, and saw that they had their Halloween section up. Well, I dropped everything (and broke a jar of tomato sauce, dammit) and drug the girlfriend over to see what they had. Some of the cool finds were wall “posters” that would cover between 30 and 50 feet of wall with spooky halloween goodness. Also saw some interesting new candies to give out, can’t wait to taste test!
But the big score, the reason I’m writing, is the holy grail of cool: The Great Pumpkin Fruit Snacks! Seriously. It had Snoopy dressed up as the Red Baron, Linus as a vampire, and a bunch of the others too (can’t remember, my brain went into shutdown when I saw it). Definitely worth hunting down if you can!

Holy shit Matt, you have INSPIRED me. My friend’s birthday is on Halloween and we have a huge drunken costume party every year…THIS year will now include Hormel goodness and a jack o lantern pizza. Right on.

In high school, my entire family ate so many honey buns (as a result of a sale) that we all got sick and have not touched them for years.

That is one sinister pizza, and I think it’s the peppers that do it. It looks like it should drive a white, windowless van.

Chestnuts roasted by Jessica Marie @ 09/28/2006 10:28 AM

Lmao! Hormel’s website is one of the BEST halloween themed sites i’ve seen in years.

Especially when you tease the lurch butler lookin dude into moonwalking back into the kitchen over and over again lol. Being injured off work i can see me having a lot of fun with that today.

The pizza was great by the way matt lol, definately doing that for this years halloween bash.

I used to LOVE honey buns. They are even better if you nuke them in the microwave for a few seconds to warm n soften them up. It also melts the congealed sugar and turns it into a soft sugary yumfest. I would just throw them in for like 15 seconds still iln the plastic wrapper. Dont overnuke though or you end up with a honey bun thats harder than a rock and thats just nasty.

That pizza is soo awesome looking, I nearly choked up when I saw it. That is TOO freakin COOL for words~

I was about to excuse from the double post, but thanks to kittycatgirl i don’t have to :D

If any of you throw halloween parties or you are doing this year you should REALLY check out hormel’s website, seriously they went all out on this. From creating your own sound effect’s tips to listing some creepy tunes (i busted out limewire), lighting tips to decor, and of course recipies, it’s a shockablock of halloween fun.

Hell it’s even made me FEEL more into the season, this alone has made me want to give them money.

A+ to Hormel all round.

Holy crap Matt, those honeybuns really do look like dog shit…

they taste pretty good though.
the honeybuns. not the dog shit.

I know what makes the pizza so sinister, it’s the mustache and the eyebrows. Same mustache as Clayton and Captain Hook. That pizza is dastardly. He’s planning on tying a girl to some train tracks as we speak. Green Onion train tracks, but train tracks nonetheless.

Dastardly, I tells ya.

Chestnuts roasted by K- @ 09/28/2006 11:11 AM

i don’t know if anyone was going to mention this but not only is that a pizza with a freaking pumpkin face it’s a pizza with a freaking pumpkin face that has a green pepper MUSTACHE. possibly the greatest moment of my entire life.

Chestnuts roasted by danny @ 09/28/2006 11:15 AM

Those things are full of refined sugar and bleached flour!

And those things are delicious!

I recently purchased a Pizzazz Pizza Oven, and I just might make me a spooky pizza right soon. ‘Twould be fun just to watch the punkin spin and turn into a melty, cheesy, pepperoni-y mess o’Hallowe’en goodness.

Kind of Halloween related: found this brief article on Boglins on this website: http://puppetvision.blogspot.com/

OMG Matt, you have the same dish(es?) that grew up eating off from. Those white plates with the weird blue flower design on the edges. Bizare.

Chestnuts roasted by Heather @ 09/28/2006 1:48 PM

Oy vey. My grandma had those.
She also had hard water so her dishes felt really weird to the touch.

Chestnuts roasted by Somethin' Funny @ 09/28/2006 2:09 PM

OK the ONLY honey bun that really matters, is one from Cinnabon (Spellcheck) in my local mall. They have giant cinnamon or honey buns with this sweet cream that you put on top and watch melt and drizzle all thw way down. The cream hradens as it cools froming a glaze in front of your eyes. I have never had a pastry bring me thid close to an orgasm before. Highly recommended.

Chestnuts roasted by Old E @ 09/28/2006 2:41 PM

Thid = This

I suck at typing due to large appendages.

Chestnuts roasted by Old E @ 09/28/2006 2:46 PM

I’m eating a honeybun right now. I hope you’re happy.

Chestnuts roasted by K- @ 09/28/2006 3:00 PM

Someone’s gonna hire a hitman to take me out for saying this, but I can’t stand honeybuns. I can’t even lick one without feeling disguted. Don’t ask why, it’s just the weirdness that is Deuce.

Once I had a buddy give me one, and just to be nice I decided to eat it. It took me over a half an hour to eat 3/4′s of it. Then I secretly threw the rest away.

Chestnuts roasted by Deuce @ 09/28/2006 3:23 PM

Just WHAT do you DO for a living that allows you to be able to afford the time and money to go so totally crazy on this stuff?!?

Whatever it is, sign me up!

But, at any rate… you are an absolute Halloween Deity!

Carved pumpkin alters should be erected and Tom Petty shaped crackers should be the communion wafers.

You’re insane.
And that’s a GOOD thing.

I am making a Phtog costume for Halloween. I will post pics.

“From now on, I’m putting green onions on everything. I’ll run around screaming “Farfetch’d” as I whip Charmander in the ass with them.”

F’in A. But I’m still caught on Ghost With The Most…what is the name of the other ghost?
